Taking a gap year with GAC in China

Taking a gap year with GAC in China was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I spent time learning Mandarin at a top university, living with a local family, and interning at a company in Shanghai — all in one program.

The support from GAC was outstanding, from helping with the visa to organizing cultural trips and language exchanges. I felt both challenged and supported every step of the way. I returned home with new confidence, stronger communication skills, and a clearer vision of my career path. If you're considering a gap year abroad, this program has everything you need: language, work experience, culture, and personal growth.
